<PRE><B>Question 1132661</B>
 A random sample of 61 Basic Statistics students were asked what they thought of statistics on a scale of 0 (very stupid) to 100 (very nice). Interestingly, students seem to find statistics quite nice: the sample mean equals 83. The sample standard deviation equals 7. We know that the standard deviation in the population (all BS students) is 8. Calculate the 90% confidence interval. 
-----
mean = 83
std = 8
----
For 90% CI, z = +/- 1.645
---
Lower Limit:: 83 - 1.645*8 = 69.84
Upper Limit:: 83 + 1.645*8 = 96.16
